Replacing perspectives</H1>
<p CLASS="Head">
In addition to opening new perspectives you can also replace the current
perspective with a new perspective. This effectively alters the layout of the
current perspective. Editors that were open continue to remain open in the new
perspective.&nbsp; To replace the current perspective hold down Ctrl or Shift-Alt
(depending on your platform) while selecting the perspective to open from the Open Perspective button or the Perspective &gt; Open menu.&nbsp;</p>
<p CLASS="Head">
When the current perspective is replaced with a new perspective the shortcut bar
updates to show the current perspective's button.</p>
<p CLASS="Head">Preference options (Window &gt; Preferences &gt; Workbench) allow you to
specify whether you want to replace a perspective by default or open a new
perspective in the same window or its own window.</p>
